It’s the best of both worlds at the 21st Gerry Weber Open: Roger
Federer and Tommy Haas are both going to go in search of the doubles
title - together. The 31-year-old Federer and the 35-year-old Haas are
close friends, and so too are their families. Their start together in
Halle is a premiere in the careers of the two stars. “This is great news
for our fans,” said tournament director Ralf Weber. “And it’s a
spectacular enrichment for the whole tournament.”

Only recently,
the maestro and the “Golden Oldie” took part in a combined training camp
in Switzerland to prepare themselves for the clay court season. Last
year, the two firm fans’ favourites battled it out for the singles title
at the 20th anniversary edition of Germany’s only ATP event on grass,
and Haas emerged as the surprise champion. Only recently, Federer
underlined his great respect for Haas’ comeback among the world’s elite.
“What he’s achieved is simply unbelievable,” he said. “It’s also
fantastic for our sport and for the fans in Germany." Haas, meanwhile,
has always referred to Federer as “the best ambassador you could ever
imagine in tennis.”

Both
are serious candidates for the singles title at the 21st Gerry Weber
Open, and will also be firm favourites for the doubles, which they could
both win.
